Guest guest Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 I have a living will, too, but I'll let them withhold food & water, too. Another very important document is a Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare. This allows one or more people you designate to make any medical decisions for you if you are unable. De Faith is the ability to not panic. -----Original Message-----From: suzie [mailto:suzieandsandy@...] Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2005 2:33 AMHepatitis CSupportGroupForDummies Subject: Re: Hi Ya Suzie and Everyone -- Good Night People Deb my good freind, I have not made this decision lightly - believe me. I just don't see me taking a transplant. I've thought & thought about & decided. I guess maybe I don't have the courage that you, , jon & Kathy have . My courage is in the fighting. I will do whatever I can bar transplant. Just take my word for it, I've given it a lot of thought. Of course, when push comes to shove, I might change my mind - I doubt it but I might. I also have a living will that says I do not want extrordinary steps taken to prolong my life, food & water are o k but no respiraters etc. My kid brother is exactly opposite - he says plug him into anything - if that vaccuum cleaner down the hall might help - plug it in - he has no intention of dying, ever. Just goes to show how different we all are. Suzie & Spyke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
